Paddy Christie, born in Dublin in 1976, is an Irish Gaelic footballer. He made his inter-county senior debut for Dublin against Armagh in April 1995 and usually plays in the full-back position. He plays for Ballymun Kickhams and served as captain of the Dublin GAA Senior football team in 2005. He was selected in the 2002 GAA All Stars Awards team at full-back. He has won three "Leinster Championship" medals in "2002", "2005" and 2006. Christie collected his 2006 Leinster senior football championship medal for 2006, although he did not make the first team and was did not make a substitute appearance. One of the highlights of his achievements at underage level was getting the triple with Ballymun Kickhams U-21 team by winning the Dublin Championship, the North League and then overall league winners in the same season. Christie was expected to make his re-appearance in the Dublin full-back line during the first round of the 2007 National Football League. This changed however, when Christie decided to dedicate himself to completing his Masters at University, although a possible return could materialise in time for the Championship.
